Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

£1 was for a class cocktail e.g. a Purple Nastie - half lager, half cider (i.e. snakebite) plus backcurrant (i.e. Snakebite + Black) plus...

Yes, it was as bad on the way back as it was on the way down. We had a very colourful student union. :-) G

you old gits. Beer was £1.75 a pint when I started. or 2.25 guilders for one of those little ones they have in Holland. Nearly wrote "Dutch flute" but I'm pretty sure that's in the Urban Dictionary
